COLIN Sylvia has missed out a place in Fremantle's final 22 for the clash with the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

The Bulldogs have made three changes including the axing of Jake Stringer and Brett Goodes, while Clay Smith will miss with a long-term shoulder injury. Nathan Hrovat comes in for his first game in 2014 and is joined by Mitch Wallis and Tom Williams.
Gold Coast have replaced the injured Harley Bennell (calf) with defender Clay Cameron for their clash with the Crows.
Adelaide has dropped Kyle Hartigan while Andy Otten comes back into the team that lost to Carlton last week.
Greater Western Sydney has dropped Jonathan Giles from its team to face Hawthorn on Sunday. Stephen Gilham also misses out on the chance to play against his former club, while Stephen Coniglio and Josh Kelly are out through injury.
The Hawks have dropped Will Langford and will have to make do without the injured Ben McEvoy. They regain forward Jarryd Roughead and Kyle Cheney also returns.
Mark LeCras is a confirmed starter for West Coast against North Melbourne on Sunday evening, with Mark Hutchings making way. The Roos have brought back Liam Anthony and Aaron Mullett with Sam Wright dropped and Joel Tippett being placed on the long term injury list.
Melbourne's Jimmy Toumpas has earned a reprieve with the Demons deciding on Friday to leave out Aidan Riley for the clash with Port Adelaide in Alice Springs.
Meanwhile Richmond has dropped key forward Ty Vickery and brought back ruckman Ivan Maric for Saturday night's 'Dreamtime at the 'G' clash against Essendon.
The Bombers have also cut underperforming forward Joe Daniher, but have brought back veterans Paul Chapman and Jason Winderlich plus Ben Howlett.
Meanwhile, the Brisbane Lions have swung the axe, omitting six players from the side that lost to North Melbourne before last weekend's bye.
In other big-name changes, Hawthorn ruckman Ben McEvoy (corked hamstring) is out, while Carlton's Andrew Carrazzo and Mitch Robinson come back in for the Blues.
Tall utility James Frawley also comes back from a toe injury for Melbourne.
Richmond will be buoyed by Maric's return with the big man finally fighting-off a lingering ankle problem.
Maric has proved his fitness in two VFL matches, while reigning best and fairest Daniel Jackson has convinced coach Damien Hardwick he has recovered from a hip complaint.
Essendon has lost patience with struggling youngster Daniher, with Kurt Aylett (omitted) and Jackson Merrett (hand) also making way.
Collingwood has brought back Lachlan Keeffe to replace luckless defender Nathan Brown (shoulder), while Taylor Adams comes in for veteran midfielder Luke Ball, who has a calf issue.
St Kilda coach Alan Richardson has resisted the temptation to recall David Armitage, instead adding Seb Ross and Brodie Murdoch in place of the omitted Jimmy Webster and injured Blake Acres (ankle).
Port Adelaide has made three changes to the team that overpowered Hawthorn with Dom Cassisi (knee), Angus Monfries (ankle) and Hamish Hartlett (suspended) all out of the side.
Paul Stewart, Andrew Moore and Jake Neade come into the side.
Brisbane Lions coach Justin Leppitsch has made some big selection decisions by dropping Andew Raines, Jordan Lisle, Ryan Lester, Michael Close, Nick Robertson and Tom Cutler from the side that lost to North Melbourne in round nine.
The Lions have brought back experienced campaigners Matt Maguire, Tom Rockliff and Joel Patfull, plus Ryan Harwood and Sam Mayes. Upgraded rookie Zac O'Brien will make his debut against Carlton.
The Blues have added Andrew Carrazzo and Mitch Robinson for Andrew Walker (knee) and Dennis Armfield (calf).
